Eight days til the concert. We're back where we were in November, except this time we're performing twice the number of songs. Inundated isn't completely finished yet. We haven't fully memorized the new music. We don't have our microphone stands decorated or any other props set up. We are planning other shows and we're not even ready for this one yet. I feel like I'm running forward and constantly teetering on the edge of stumbling and faceplanting into the ground. All it takes is that one mis-step.
Last night I bought The Histories by Herodotus. It's an accounting of Greek history that focuses on the Battle of Thermopylae (yes, the battle that the new movie 300 is based on...it's fairly accurate to the actual event, too) and the events afterwards. It's believed to have been first "published" or recited somewhere between 449-447 BC. I can't wait to start reading it. I'm discovering a new love of history that's recently been developing; I think it started sometime around the last time I went to the Field Museum and saw the King Tut exhibit.
That's all for now, I'll write more later.
You know it's true
And though I tried to hide it
It shows in you
I know it's true
And though you still deny it
I see right through
All you won't admit
But what if you're the reason I can't fall
Far enough to find
The lies that I depend on exist
Only in my mind
I know like you
Though we still deny it
It shows in you
You know it's true
And though I tried to fight it
I can't see through
All I won't accept
But what if you're the reason I can't fall
Far enough to find
The lies that I depend on exist
Only in my mind...
